The hike took us thru some small streams
We have reached the spot from where the hike will begin
A short 30 mile ride to test out the leg
The left leg is not fully recovered. I can walk but any time the leg is stretched, it gives a stern warning. Took the bike out to see if the leg can deal with it. The riding is not the problem. It is how I land my left leg when I come to a stop is what I had to be careful about. Coming down a staircase is a bit of a hassle but the motorbiking went fine.

Out on the lake with my friend from middle school
Perfect day in Atlanta to be on the lake!!
All the bravado about gaining confidence in long runs put to rest :-(
Remember how I posted about gaining confidence in longer runs every Saturday? Well, that could not have been more misplaced! In a few hours, while trying to hit a volleyball in the Green in downtown Alpharetta, badly pulled the upper left calf muscle.
That should be a lesson for me to stretch before and after long runs and keep drinking water.
Hobbling fairly badly now, but can move myself from Point A to Point B. Stairs are also okay as long as I do not put weight on my left leg while it is straight.
Now, if I can put another long run on Saturday, then that will really, really get my confidence back.
